The imposing flight of steps leading to the cool balcao and onto the foyer and lounge of this lovingly maintained old Portuguese mansion, sets the tone of comfort and elegance at the Palacete Rodrigues. The lounge takes you back in time - furnished as it is with intricately carved polished furniture, jardinières and china wall plates. Pedestal mounted chandeliers and plants galore add to the unique charm of this delightful guest house. Set in a quite lane just ten minutes from the famed market and beach, Palacete Rodrigues is an ideally placed holiday retreat. The garden area has a somewhat cool look. The greenery, peace and tranquity adds to a peaceful stay.
